Speak and Be Heard

Not being able to communicate can be frustrating! You try to speak, but you’re not understood. You might even use hand gestures or drawing to get your point across.

In ESL classes, you will develop your communication skills in four key areas:

Listening

Speaking

Reading

Writing

These language skills will help you communicate better ... which can lead to a better job, more money and improved relationships.

Your Education, Their Future

Research shows children do better in school when their parents get involved. But it is hard to be an involved parent when you don't speak English. It's hard to email the teacher, monitor schoolwork or quiz your child for an upcoming test.

ESL classes give parents the chance to parent to the best of their ability. When you learn to speak, read and write English, you can better connect with your child. You can speak at a school career day, meet other parents at sports matches or even volunteer at a school dance.
